Harvest-time contests will include “Garden Giants,” where growers will enter their tremendous tomatoes, portly pumpkins, and formidable fruits. In the “Garden Bounty” competition, beautiful arrangements of fall flowers and produce will be evaluated by expert judges.

Admission is free and open to the public, and ample free parking is available. Public transit users can take the SEPTA Broad Street line all the way south to the sports complex. Several buses stop at Broad and Pattinson as well. We can’t wait to see you there!
